Dominions Songs
I noticed there didn't really seem to be a thread for this. Haiku, yeah. Poetry, yeah. But no full-fledged songs. Besides, it looks like those threads are long dead, so I figured I'd start a new thread for SONG. Write your own, adapt someone else's lyrics, whatever. Of course, I'll contribute with a song based on Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" (which I did while bored). I like to call it "Ode to Monkey PD". :) I make no claims as to quality.
We don't need no monkey PD We don't need no Sticks and Stones No strength, no attack, no defense Markata, have no saving grace Hey! Markata! Get back in and fight! All in all you're just another useless monkey All in all you're just another useless monkey |
Re: Dominions Songs
I say: BRAVO SIR! BRAVO! :)

Re: Dominions Songs
I say you should stick to making dom 3K nations or your day time job :D

Re: Dominions Songs
Ive been meaning to rewrite
"I like big butts and I cannot lie" to "I like big maps where I cannot die" |
Re: Dominions Songs
Seems like Gandalf can't even write his bad idea for a dominions song: same advice to you, stick with trying everything you can with mods (btu without ever creating something actually playable yourself as far as I know) or stick with your daytime job.
I'm thinking I'm going to have to say this quite a few times :D |
Re: Dominions Songs
I dont blame you for not knowing. My mods dont tend to make it to the mod lists. :)
Like my maps. You tend to have to visit my site for them. And I probably will finish a few songs now that we have a thread for it. I write parody songs all the time. But they are mostly DnD or Hacking topics. |
Re: Dominions Songs
Sung to the tune of Duke of Hearts...
C'mon Cmon.. Two black hearts.. In every foil package you get two black hearts... cmon cmon Break that siege... when theres no commanders they retreat with eage.(ease) (cmon cmon) Two Black hearts... |
Re: Dominions Songs
Sung to the tune of "Losing My Religion"
Thats me in the corner Thats me in the fortress losing my dominion I want to break the seige but I dont know if I can do it Oh no I attacked too soon or not quite soon enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing when you saw my pre-tend-er die! I love parodies and have over a thousand in my iPod. I also love cover songs. In my head this is done to the version by the Gregorian Chant Masters. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=A7hRnPKdQq4 |

As for your maps, if you're talking about the maps from the random map generator, I believe that there's more than one prominent link to them in the maps and mods subforum. |
Re: Dominions Songs
I didnt say it was a gripe. :)
Most of my mods and maps dont really fit the lists. For my mods it tends to be more of a relief. The best ones get written by someone else before I get to them. And the worthy ones I have done get quickly rewritten almost as soon as they are known. Which is fine with me. My only response was to the apparent statement that I hadnt done any. I would much rather encourage one than administrate one. As long as I keep the conversations flying Ive done my job. :) |
Re: Dominions Songs
Come on people. I want to space mine out. Is anyone else working on a Dominions song?
Of course, some songs dont need converting. www.CthulhuLives.org has 2 CDs of songs that work great for Rlyeh. A number of Rob Zombie songs will work for Ermor. Im sure there is some Goth music that simply screams to be Mictlan. |
Re: Dominions Songs
I've been known to make a song parody or two in the past, but I haven't really had the inspiration strike me to make one for dominions. Maybe someday I'll think of something clever, but I don't expect that day to come soon :P

Re: Dominions Songs
How about this one?
"A Few of my Favorite Things" from "Sound of Music" xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xxx xxx xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxx xx x xxx xxxxx xxxx these are a few of my favorite things xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xxx xxx xxxx and xxxxx and xxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxx xx x xxx xxxxx xxxx these are a few of my favorite things when the xxxxx xxxx when the xxxxx xxxxxx when Im xxx xxxxxx xxxx I think of a few of my favorite things and then I dont xxxxx xxxx xxxxxx If I did it then I would just ruin it since "my favorite things" in the game are nothing at all like most peoples. :) Id love to see this one done by someone else. Also, I have troubles in that my favorite version of this stuck in my head is a dirty version done by 14th Disciple. |
Re: Dominions Songs
I think the song "The World is a Vampire" by Smashing Pumkins could turn into a good Dominions song....just need to find the words.
The Original lyrics; the world is a vampire, sent to drain secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames and what do i get, for my pain betrayed desires, and a piece of the game even though i know-i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold-like old job despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage then someone will say what is lost can never be saved despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage now i'm naked, nothing but an animal but can you fake it, for just one more show and what do you want, i want to change and what have you got when you feel the same even though i know-i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold-like old job despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage then someone will say what is lost can never be saved despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage etc. EDIT: Queen - I want to Break Free Could turn into I want to play dom3 |
Re: Dominions Songs

The world is for Mictlan, sent to drain? |
Re: Dominions Songs

Re: Dominions Songs
EXCELLENT! Now we are on a roll. Come on people, cough up!
I guess now I get to post another.... sung to the tune of "When Im Sixty-Four" by the Beatles When I start losing all of my lands, Many turns from now, Will you still be sending gems and armament For the many gold that I sent? If Im knocked back to my capital site Will you help me more? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When your Pantokrator? |
Re: Dominions Songs
[From the another thread]
I am the very model of a cheap generic thuggable, I've good Protection, high defense, and gemcost nearly neglible; My built-in gear's a plate hauberk and Bane Blade, which is adequate For PD which will route if you can only make them hurt a bit. I'm zero enc (like most undead) and rarely take a critical hit I benefit tremendously from a simple lucky amulet, I have the slots to use whatever gear that you can forge for me, From Winged Boots to Aegis or a Vine Shield to a Brand or three. I've resistances respectable, most Hydras find me affable, A Niefel Giant's cold aura to me is merely laughable. In short in matters economic, tactical, and Bog-beast huggable[1] I am the very model of a cheap generic thuggable! -Max [1] Can't leave out the Bog Beast love. Besides, none of the other rhymes I thought of made any sense either. And the scansion is terrible. If you want GOOD poetry go read Poe or Kipling: http://www.wargames.co.uk/Poems/Grave.htm |

That was pretty funny, and for the most part, followable. I give it :up::up:.

Re: Dominions Songs
And now the crappy little one I was thinking of doing about thugs...
sung to the tune of "Little Bunny Foo Foo" Poison Golem Foo Foo Running thru the provinces Snatching up the infantry and bopping them on the head. MaxWilsons was MUCH better. The only thing I can say about mine is that its viral. You can send it in a game message to your enemy and it will stick in his head for the rest of the day ruining his concentration. MUHAHahahahahaha (evil laugh) |

Re: Dominions Songs
I posted this in the Asia Twist thread, as it records the battle w/ Pashadawg's Wyrm pretender. The story in brief:
Quote:
Wails and weepings were the words of the wives widowed on the north coasts; from a monstrous terror, striking, out of the sea's cruel heart. The Wyrm laid waste, wicked in the wreck of the Van. Many a hearth's smoke, down against the trees' line, dark on the water; the flames, free from their proper bond-place. So roused the angry one, out of his sick-couch, calling to him his sword servants and thanes, and to him his jarl Andre; he of whose fury, the good lord approved. Along the kestrel's clamour, out from wind's home, our lord and bondsman spied now the beast; massive with menace, from out of the forest's torn flank. Prepared they for battle, using the old ways and wiles of the Vannish. And the beast it did also; yet the mists held no secrets from the lord of the Van. Vast in its bulk, the vile sea-thing roared out some challenge, heads rampant, sprays toxin; young Andre felt fear's clasp, yet stayed steady for his dread liege. Two swords flamed in the dawn's light, and two serpent's heads met and missed, the bloody back and forth, until the Jarl Andre struck in with his true axe. The fiend, screamed and lashed at his baned one; his two heads tearing in twain. Yet the Wyrm's ribs now jutted, ships staves on the founder; and it, feeling the doom's dire, sped for the cliff's edge, seeking sea's safety. But the lord of the Aesir, avenging his sworn one, cut down the beast by the clash of the waves. Down to the muck was layed low the mighty Wyrm Pasha; and the Lord burnt one head on the cairn of his bondsman. |

Re: Dominions Songs
In the continued tradition of "giving all my worldly goods away" I am going to post my list of half-baked ideas for additions to this thread.
http://www.dom3minions.com/files/Possible_Parodies.txt Sometime on one of my good days I might be able to whip one off and post it. Until then maybe it will spark someone else to do one. But I will give you this. Its not a parody rewrite and in fact is more of a meme but Im not sure if it should be posted here or the Dom3 joke thread. the Hinnom Battle Theme Song http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B002A64DPA The idea of Hinnom charging the battlefield with this brings shivers to my spine |
Re: Dominions Songs
I don't have a whole song or even verse, but there's a germ of an idea here and I figured it could be recorded here as well as anywhere else.
To the tune of "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash (after he recounts that his mother told him not to play with guns) "but I smote a god in Hinnom, just to watch him die." |
Re: Dominions Songs
A Niefelheim rap to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby”
Ice Ice Baby, Yo, Niefeheim, Let’s kick it!

Dueling, is how they roll With double flesh eaters so their shrouds can blow Tjatse on standby Just in case you say hi Did he stop? No he just flew by Flew on, going to the next prov He’ll raid it up then head on to the next spot And you’ll be dead Yo, so he’ll continue to kill PD… Niefelheim Attitude! Your dominion is small and your candles are teeny I might dom kill you cause I’m a meeny Jealous, cause these virgins are mine I don’t care at all, I kill ‘em all the time Ready, for your chumps on the walls Trying to be brave but they don’t got balls Sieging, like it’s mine to sell I’ll storm your fort like a horde from hell Rushed, and you’re dying real fast You’re really pissed, I’m having a blast Nothing you can do you just fall back You can’t win so you start to slack Niefel on the scene You know what I mean So click AI and yell at the screen If there was a problem Yo, I’ll stomp it Eat this fatigue while my cold wind revolves it Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby Take heed, cause I’m a rusher and I know it Angerboda loves to kill but her face won’t show it My town, loves to see our fist pound Holes in your face and kick casters to the ground It takes one hit so your blood can spill We’re so cold that your skin will peel Our commanders are SCs It’s a hell of a concept Properly equipped so they can step with this You’re in a rage Sliced like a dust dagger Cut like a wraith blade So fast, other SC’s say “Damn!” If Niefel was a drug You would OD on the can We’re just some goons that wanna let loose We’ll cut you open and suck out the juice If there was a problem Yo, I’ll stomp it Eat this fatigue while my cold wind revolves it Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby Yo man, let’s get out our here!
